Wheels Up Drag Strip Action! Super Chevy Show and Race Coverage of the Cordova Illinois Event!

2016 Super Chevy Show hits Cordova Illinois hard!

As the Chevys at the car show were getting polished and ready for judging the racers were busy tuning their cars and getting set for the test-and-tune sessions. Nearly 200 cars ended up registering for the racing action and every single one of them wanted to leave with a chunk of the prize money. There were quite a few classes available to run in and cars ranging from daily drivers to all out racecars were intermixed in the staging lanes. The rules say any Chevy powered vehicle can run, so there were even some retrofitted Fords seen skulking about. In addition to the morning qualifying the car show judges were busy inspecting the sea of Chevys that showed up for the fun. Competition there was tough, with points being added, or subtracted, based on a set judging criteria. Of course participants will have to wait until Sunday to see if they managed to take home a trophy.

The racing, mixed with the car show action, meant that spectators always had something cool to check out. Later in the day there were exhibition runs including a wheel-stander and Jet car; always crowd favorites.

If you’re a Chevy fan this is certainly an event you don’t want to miss! The next Super Chevy show will take place July 21st through the 22nd at Tulsa Raceway in Tulsa, Oklahoma. To see the complete 2016 schedule be sure to visit http://www.superchevy.com/events/super-chevy-show/.
